can most famous guitar players sing reasonbaly well?

We know there are guitar players that are good singers, ie. Eric Clapton, John Mayer, Gary Moore. But what about guitar players that never sing, such as Slash, Marty Friedman, Eddie Van Halen? What do you reckon those guys sound like when they sing?

I feel kind of bad that I'm not good enough to sing well, but my passion is guitar playing anyways.

Most great guitar players have a well developed ear. That makes them able to pick up pitches and melodies really easily. However, that doesn't mean that they can sing well...It takes a lot of practice to get good at singing, and maybe some of the gods just didn't want to do that

I imagine any professional guitarist (or musician for that matter) should be able to at least hold a tune, i.e. pitch notes correctly. Whether or not they have a decent voice is another matter entirely.

Anyone can learn how to sing in key but not everyone is born/can create an interesting voice.

Satriani's okay. He's better at playing the harmonica while playing guitar though. Paul Gilbert can sing while playing (a la Down to Mexico), as can a number of other famous guitarists. But many singers aren't prized for their voices. I mean, Mick Jagger's voice is AWFUL.
